Manchester United midfielder Tyrell Malacia recently suffered from an extended injury lay-off, prompting manager Ruben Amorim to consider selling him off in order to rejuvenate their squad in January’s transfer window. Ruben’s intention behind selling Tyrell Malacia includes raising funds to make new acquisitions.
Strategic Departures Planned by Amorim
Amorim’s dissatisfaction with Manchester United’s current squad quality was evident by his decision to consider selling Malacia. With their management supporting Amorim and his vision to elevate their club’s standing, significant changes may soon follow to ensure continuity in his plans for elevating United’s stature.
Juventus has shown interest in the 25-year-old defender, who was sidelined all of last season due to knee surgery. The Italian club is considering a loan deal for Malacia until season’s end, with an option to buy in the summer, and is prepared to pay a substantial portion of his £75,000-a-week salary.
Amorim Eyes Ait-Nouri as Top Defensive Target
Borussia Dortmund has also expressed interest in Malacia, acknowledging his recent good form and apparent readiness for a new challenge, potentially in the Bundesliga. However, Ruben Amorim’s priority is to secure Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Rayan Ait-Nouri as the first-choice left-back for Manchester United.
Ait-Nouri has quickly established himself as one of the premier assets on the transfer market since his impressive performances have caught everyone’s eye, drawing much speculation regarding potential signings in this season. Renowned for his energetic and aggressive play style, Ait-Nouri stands as an attractive upgrade over United’s current options – particularly Luke Shaw who can often go missing.
Statiscal comparisons between Ait-Nouri and other Premier League defenders this season – such as Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold – illustrate why Amorim places so much stock in him. Any potential cost involved with signing Ait-Nouri can be justified using budgetary space created through Malacia’s proposed transfer.
